1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442. W-42 Code (1 of 3000 442's) Not sure of exact production figures on the T-Top cars in '85. Real 442 not a clone. Loaded with option, gauge cluster, tach, a/c, power disc brakes and so on. Unrestored, original paint and interior car. Factory 442 wheels. Have all original owners books in glovebox as well as Chilton manual. Showing 76,000 miles on odometer. Titles in Indiana show milage as (Exempt) on vehicles 25 years and older. Car is a wonderful driver but is NOT a show car. T-Tops have newer weather stripping and seal up tight. I would drive the car anywhere. Smooth ride and VERY responsive! In 2001 the engine was completely rebuilt. Jones Engine Machine Shop in Owensboro, Ky. did the machine work including valve job, .030 bore cylinders, installed cam bearings, ground crankshaft, magniflux inspection of the block and installed freeze plugs. Have paperwork receipts from Jones Machine Shop. Engine was then reassembled by SPEC Performance in Dale, IN. (Scott Fischer owner). Scott builds high end engines for dirt track racing and is VERY well known in this area. Look him up. Engine is VERY, VERY, VERY STRONG with no smoke, ticks or issues. 200-R4 "OZ" 4 speed automatic transmission shifts STRONG and wonderful as well. Has chrome air cleaner lid and factory dual snorkel air cleaner. Newer Firestone Indy 500 15" tires. Brakes are strong and great. Gauges all work. Power windows work. Heat works nicely with new heater core, wipers and all exterior /interior lighting including courtesy lighting works great. Trunk light works and truck are is excellent. Car can be driven daily. Brand new starter also. Minor issues that may need attention in the future: Valve cover gaskets are starting to leak a little bit. I have included (in the trunk) some chrome covers if you would want to install them with new gaskets. I was going to and never did. Passenger side exhaust donut gasket leaking (no big deal). Being an original paint car there is obviously nothing to hide. Structural steel under the car is rock solid! Trunk pan is rock solid. However the paint is fading on the top portions of the car (hood, trunk lid, roof). Car has some front fender damage from a deer running into it. This put a few dents in the fender as shown. Could probably be fixed relatively easily. There are chips and scratches here and there too as well as some small rust spots just starting to show in a few places. Interior is clean and shows typical ware for an older used car. Carpet has some severe ware patterns and so on. Please feel free to call me anytime with any other specific questions or concerns. I am always here to help. (812)631-9244 Feel free to make an offer. I am open to HONEST offers. Clear, clean Indiana title in hand for easy transaction. Thanks. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant
Wed, 18 Jun 2014If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
